Can you tell me more about growing onions from the bulbs? I usually cut mine fairly close to the root growth at the bottom, maybe leaving 1 cm of onion white, and throw it in the freezer with other veggie scraps to later boil and clarify for broth, but I am CONSTANTLY buying green onions for soups, dumplings, stirfries, grilling, what-have-you, so I'm very interested in this idea. I live in apartment with a bay window which is ripe for a planter, so this sounds potentially very useful.

It'd be perfect in a planter. You can shove a bunch in there about an 1" or 2" apart. They will get MASSIVE. Like 3x bigger in diameter (not leek big, but still). I probably have about 10-20 bulbs going, and just keep cutting until I have enough for whatever dish I need. I never run out... It takes a short bit for them to get established, but it was one of the best things I've done in awhile. I never have to buy them any more...been going that way for almost 3 years now.

Wow wow wow, this really does sound great! How much of the bulb are you saving from the onion to replant?

I probably left 1-2" or so along the bottom. You could likely get away with shorter than that honestly.
